Red, are the Krallice dudes still touring with Lemay? I caught a Gorguts set with them a couple years ago, and it ruled. The dissonance required this old fart to use earplugs as it was like a buzz saw - in a good way.

It's actually the Dysrhythmia dudes, but yeah, it's gonna be awesome. I had to miss the one time they came through here on the Decibel tour a few years back, plus Gorguts was playing at some ungodly hour like 6pm. This time they headline with Intronaut and Brain Tentacles. Like I say; awesome.

Gorguts live was awesome and Luc is a total gentleman. I was in the merch line at the end of the show and this kid was telling him how much he liked them and how they reminded him of Deathspell Omega and I kind of went out of my mind, telling this kid there would be no DSO without Gorguts 'Obscura'! Luc humbly stayed out of the conversation, but that kind of stuff drives me crazy!

Also caught up with Aaron of Brain Tentacles/KEELHAUL. He says all the KEELHAUL guys are friendly and hang out, so they could come back at any time.

^Yeah been hearing good things about the new Immo. I should get to that...

Funny how things change. Back when I last posted in this thread, (5 years ago?) I was mostly about the old-school styled stuff, with maybe a little tech sprinkled in for flavor. I still enjoy lots of old-schoolish bands, but lately it seems like I just listen to tech and slam.

So far 2017 has been dominated by the relentless caveman slams of muhfuggin ACRANIUS:

On the tech front, I'm trying not to overhype myself for the upcoming Artificial Brain. But the pre-release track is SO FUCKING BADASS

Immolation were great when I saw them last month with Cavalera Conspiracy. I should have bought the CD, as CC weren't supporting anything new (just commemorating the 20th anniversary of 'Roots'). It was a weird/fun night and I just didn't get around to it though.
